India vs England 2nd test 2008: live score, timing and analysis

India is getting inspiration from every area. As example I am using some points; awesome five victories in a row in the ODI, the first Test victory and the positive cricket during the Australia tour of India and finally the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium favorable pitch always support of Indian. I keen to describe all the points in detailed. Before those, I want inform you about he timing of the 2nd test match location, play ground and live telecast medias.

 

Match Timing: 09:30 Local time (IST) and GMT 04:00; on Friday, December 19, 2008.

Match Location: Mohali, Panjab

Play Ground: Punjab Cricket Association Stadium

Live Telecast Medias: NEO Cricket for Indian fans and Sky Sport for England fans.

 

Indians are inspiring after taking a hand in the first test victory. Winning toss, batting fist, scouring 316 runs, by bowling England stopped Indian batsmen in 241runs even batting in the second innings was amazing. Although, 316 in the first inning is of not good achievement but it become wealth when Indian batsmen failed to dominate England’s bowlers and lost 6 wicket just spending half of day playing 45 overs. India sacked their first innings just playing 24 more overs. Earlier downfall of the wickets of Indian squads, English men were dreaming to take the lead by winning the first test and batted well in the second innings and took a huge runs lead and threw a challenge to the Indian squads. 

The Indians accepted the challenge with am iron hands and tried to over the failure of the first innings. Indian positive and passionate batting demolished all the challenges and acquired the victory by over taking 387 runs. Really, this was a big challenge for Indians. May be it is the most runs for Indians have secured victory also a history in test cricket. 

Many positive sides for Indians and Sachin Tendulkar’s coming back in run. In the second inning of the first test Indian may forgot to loose the wickets which are their universal character for Indian batsmen. Here I want to inform the readers about a test match against Pakistan (most probably 1999-2000). India needed just 16 runs but and 6 wickets in hand. After securing century Sachin Tendulkar was trying to play his style (mastering shoot that he used to do after sacking his personal career) and gone to pavilion. Last 5 wickets did not gather even four runs including Nayan Mungia. But in this match it looked completely different even Sachin Tendulkar’s batting seemed that he just has started his career. It was really amazing.  

India : (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 VVS Laxman, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt/wk), 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Amit Mishra. 

England: (possible) 1 Andrew Strauss, 2 Alastair Cook, 3 Owais Shah, 4 Kevin Pietersen (capt), Paul Collingwood, 6 Andrew Flintoff, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Steve Harmison, 11 Monty Panesar 

May be there will not be any changed in Indian squad just will change in batting order because Rahul Dravid is out of performances. May he could bat as number 7 batsman. In England squad there could be a single change. Owais Shah may include in squad.

 

BBC Wrote:

Owais Shah is a very skilled player of spin and would be the obvious change but his last innings came more than three weeks ago in the Cuttack one-day international.

There is also an argument for promoting Matt Prior to number six. He batted very capably in both innings in Chennai while Andrew Flintoff is not a good starter against spin bowling.

I am confused about the reports; in some news it is telling that Mohali picth is very favorable for the pacers like Shoaib Akhter but both the squads are thinking about the spin blowers. Every during the Australia tour of India Indian off time spinner Amit Mishra showed a great performances.
